Invoking Longevity and Peace with the White Tara Handcrafted Buddhist Statue
This White Tara Handcrafted Buddhist Statue measures 20.3”/51.5cm in height and 13.6”/34.5cm at the base, weighing 9.94 kg. Handcrafted from a copper body, the sculpture is richly finished with 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and carefully placed gemstones. White Tara is seated gracefully upon an intricately decorated lotus pedestal, adorned with an elaborate jeweled crown, layered necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and flowing celestial scarves. Delicate lotus stems rise beside her shoulders, supporting beautifully painted blossoms, while colorful gemstone embellishments enrich the crown, jewelry, and ornamental details. The radiant gold surface emphasizes the finely carved facial features, garments, ornaments, lotus petals, and decorative patterns, while the vibrant acrylic painting creates a refined contrast across the flowers, robes, and pedestal. The substantial size, elaborate ornamentation, gemstone details, and carefully executed craftsmanship give this sculpture a distinguished presence, making it well suited for a prominent Buddhist altar, meditation hall, Dharma center, monastery, or sacred collection.
This sacred representation portrays White Tara, the female Buddha traditionally associated with longevity, compassion, healing, protection, and the alleviation of suffering. She is depicted in the posture of royal ease, with one leg extended downward to express her readiness to respond to beings in need while the other remains folded in meditative composure. Her right hand extends downward in the gesture of generosity and compassionate giving, while her left hand is raised near the heart, holding the stem of a lotus and expressing refuge, protection, and enlightened awareness. White Tara is distinguished by her seven eyes, including an eye on her forehead and eyes on the palms of her hands and soles of her feet, symbolizing her unobstructed awareness of the suffering and needs of sentient beings. The fully opened lotus flowers beside her shoulders represent purity and the unfolding of awakened qualities, while her serene expression, elaborate ornaments, and peaceful posture convey compassionate wisdom and tranquility. Her presence is especially meaningful for practices and aspirations connected with longevity, healing, compassionate activity, and the cultivation of a meaningful life devoted to spiritual development.

White Tara, or Sitatara, is revered in Himalayan Buddhism as the "Mother of all Buddhas" and the embodiment of long life, healing, and serenity. Legend tells that she was born from a tear of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, shed for the suffering of all sentient beings. Her practice is central to those seeking to overcome obstacles to health and to attain a long, virtuous life dedicated to the path of wisdom and universal peace.
